Kingsport Lighthouse wont clear??

[jefmrazek]

Survival mode, no console commands. No quest markers for the mission. I used berry mentats, artillery strikes, submarine nukes, killed all the birds and still cant access workshop. Notification says kill nearby enemies. I cant progress settlement missions until this is done. And i played too far and did too much work after the bug manifested to restart or reload a save. This is my trophy playthrough all DLC complete i even did Nuka World before meeting Preston to have the cake and eat it:( Someone please save my precious!!

Come back later.

Like, wait a couple days, come back later. let it respawn.

[jefmrazek]

oh ive been playing weeks since the bug manifested. Ive been playing around it and stopping by every couple days to try something new. ive read the few comments i found about it seems like a very obscure issue

[jefmrazek]

Ive even lured the nearby deathclaw into the lighthouse and killed it hoping to get a result. So very frustrating I love Fallout but this is game ending to a completionist like me.

Do you have a mission to take it? Or is this just you going there and killing things? You say 'no quest marker for the mission' which mission are you mentioning, or is that just to describe it NOT being one?

There is a possibility that someone is under the map, so the respawn and wait thing is all I got for that. Otherwise it's busted, and you might need to temporarily suspend your survival run to use the console a couple times to KAH kill all hostiles in the area until it clears.

Since it's no-console (and I presume no mods), the best chance you got is to don PA with Targeting HUD mod and scan the area. Failing that - try recon sensors (either weapon or PA), it sometimes can tag targets even behind obstacles. That will hopefully show you the enemy you're missing - but if it's indeed off the map, your chances to get it are slim. Try explosive rounds and molotov - their clipping rules sometimes are buggy so it can partially go through walls / floors, so if the enemy is close to the clipping line, they will get damaged (but if they're not - well.. tough luck)

Yes I have the quest. Its called Taking Kingsport or something. I killed the marked enemy, the glowing one at the top of the lighthouse when I fist came to take the settlement but the workshop never unlocked. It just keeps saying kill nearby enemies. i must have had several things going on at the time because apparently i left and carried on with my game instead of reloading and trying again. by the time i decided this was an actual issue i had done so much other content i wouldnt know where the contemporaneous save file even would even be and i couldnt go back now. The enemy under the map would have been revealed by the berry mentats i believe and i saturated the entire zone with artillery for good measure. Finally if i lower the difficulty to do commands I get a warning that survival cant be turned back on if i turn it off.. This forum is my last hope. I do appreciate youre responses Z

^ Berry mentats only work up to 8m. If the target fell through the ground (which usually happens when LOD bugs out and enemies load before LOD gets converted to real cell geometry) - well.. that won't help. Since every workshop relies on the "Location" being cleared - it doesn't really matter even if that enemy is outside the cell, it will still count as not cleared.

There are some enemy down in the boat docked there.

If you still can not get it done, this console command will allow you to revert back to Survival after lowering the setting.

cgf "Game.IncrementStat" "Survival Denied" -1

I would not do it for one settlement. There are a lot of them available.

I did one, pure ( no mods, revert back console commands, etc. ) Survival play run to level 71. I am glad now I can say that. It's personal feeling. Does not mean anything to others. So stick with how it will effect you.

[jefmrazek]

Thanks tiger. Its a me thing lol. I imagined one day if i ever showcased my epic vault 88 it would be extra impressive if i could say ive never tampered with anything. Im an OCD weirdo lol. but yes its either fix this or quit at this point and i cant quit now haha

[jefmrazek]

Also at least one other settlement is locked behind this. Nordhagen beach wont open up as a quest until i clear kingsport, at least thats how i remember my first playthrough. but anyway AD VICTORIUM BROTHERS thanks!!

That is actually not helping you at all. If it is because one of the required enemies didn't spawn properly, then going back that often does nothing. You have to stay away from the area entirely for long enough for the area to respawn. Coming back every couple of days would do nothing but start the timer over.

Last time I was there I had missed the ghoul in the top of the lighthouse.
All these experts saying "use kill all hostiles" aint going to help you because the ghoul is not hostile until you open the door and it wakes up.

There is no locks or stages when you acquire normal settlements.
The only ones with a locked progression are:
- Boston Airport (requires the BoS arrival in Act II)
- Bunker Hill (requires Battle of Bunker Hill occurring in Act III)
- Mechanist Lair (defeat the Mechanist)
- Nukaworld Red Rocket (restart the power plant in Nukaworld)

Populated settlements can be acquired at any time IF they have a help request generated. The Slog and Nordhagen Beach can be slow to generate that request.

[Zekiran]

They won't ally with you until you go and actually complete the mission they send you on. Nordhagen wants you to clear another settlement that's your goal, you then return to the person at Nordhagen and ONLY THEN they will allow you to build there. I've had hundreds of these along the many years I've played. It's a normal occurrence, Bored.

Perhaps the OP needs to go back to Nord to report? and THEN go back to Kingsport?
